I will be “that guy” and suggest you to watch a few linux-related videos before choosing. i.e go to youtube and search for “what is the best linux distro for beginners”, “how to install on (distro name goes here)”, “how to configure (audio, video, etc) on (distro name goes here)”, etc. Write em down, install the distro you wanna check, get used to those methods until they are stuck on your forehead. If you lose interest, go back to 1- and choose another distro.

Dietpi. Because I’m forced to.

Eyy! Glad to hear I’m not the only weirdo in this sub!

You guys use wallpapers?

Should we integrate easier access to running Winblows apps on GNU/Linux?

Why “we” should bother with that when -you- can do it yourself? Linux is a “free” ““operating system”” (Not absolutely free, but at least way more “free” than Windows) – learn the ways to do that and implement these changes yourself.

I’m not upset about it,

You just mentioned about 5 posts not being an “appealing Lemmy experience”. Only. Five. Posts.

It’s time to take a break my dude.

If the internet upsets/bothers you -THAT- much… why don’t you simply find a better hobby? I mean, the moment that (pretty much anything in life) starts to give you more stress/anger above everything else… that is where you should stop for a moment and rethink your life decisions/choices.

In other words… this is meant to be a distraction, not your third job.

a lot of people i know

So…gamers, and maybe a few youtubers with less than 10 subscribers? Nah, we güd.

Last time I tried convincing em to install Linux, they said “I’m on it” to end up ghosting me after like I was a weird, random beggar they met on the street.

software problems

Not having “out of the box” support does not make it a problem tho.

quality of distros

All distros are the same, considering they all run GNU/Linux and anyone can configure em at will.

It’s pretty good. Even better than the raspberry pi 4 considering its performance and comically low power draw (It doesn’t go over the 2W mark even with both cpu and gpu at 100%.). Other than that, it’s perfectly usable, despise its lack of (out of the box) support.

As a proud Orange pi zero 3 owner (which I’m using it as a “lab rat” by testing several things, including shutting it down like its a router)…? Nah.

You can always consider the experience of using Linux as a “game” itself and DU ET NAO!

…no really. Do it.

…and that is why I love Linux as well! Gotta love my little potato Orange pi zero 3.

I tried it once and got ignored like a beggar trying to talk with randoms on the street.

.dotfiles on github

Big/critical files on an external HD

simple as

There is always firejail which is very “even your mom can use it” in terms of usage.

e.g install it, type cd / && sudo firecfg, then your password and thats it.

Not by the slightest.

You can see it by yourself right now if you have docker: docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name ascii-matrix defnotgustavom/ascii-matrix

-EDIT- Whoops. Just realized its a fork. Eeeeeehhhh… it’ll give you a nice idea regardless.

I actually created a new image with it – docker run -it --rm --log-driver none --cap-drop=ALL --read-only --net none --security-opt=no-new-privileges --name animatrix defnotgustavom/animatrix

Nice! Hope you have fun with it.
